BREAKING: A Texas public school DEI director told an undercover journalist her biological boy could play in girls' sports by finding "workarounds" to the law.
The district called police and DETAINED the journalist confronting the DEI director.
I have the video.
Buckle up👇🧵
An undercover journalist posing as a parent asked the administrator if her biological boy could play in girls' sports.
The administrator was Keyawna Glaze, Director of DEI at Hutto Independent School District near Austin, Texas.
The DEI director says "there's workarounds" to the Texas law protecting girls' sports, but that "you didn't hear it from me."
The DEI director says "there's definitely workarounds" to the law such as changing the gender on the child's birth certificate.
"And, legally, like it's done.. it didn't happen in Texas. It happened in another state that's 100% for those students.."
BUSTED: An undercover journalist confronted the DEI director about coaching parents on how to circumvent the law protecting girls' sports.
She denied it (at first).
BOOM: The journalist lets her know he has undercover video evidence.
"What if I told you I had a video right here of you saying all of those things?"
The DEI director then admits it was her.
She says the district will continue to go off the birth certificate even if she knows the child had a male birth certificate before.
"It does not matter what we know or what we don't know. It matters what's on that legal document."
The DEI director then says parents who are upset about this practice should "take it up with their lawmakers."
When asked if she would continue doing the same thing in the future, she said: "I'm following the law."
Another @HuttoISD administrator KICKS OUT the undercover journalist and CALLED THE POLICE.
The district police officer says the journalists are DETAINED 🚨
The journalist continues to ask district officials if they support the DEI director coaching parents on how to circumvent the law.
He then gets kicked off district property.
The journalist is @adamguillette, president of Accuracy in Media.
The undercover journalists are at @AccuracyInMedia.
This is the 4th Texas school district they've exposed in the past month.
You can watch the full video by @AccuracyInMedia here:
The Texas school district that was just exposed is @HuttoISD, near Austin.
The administrator caught on video was Keyawna Glaze, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at @HuttoISD.
Keyawna Glaze is no longer working as a DEI director at @HuttoISD.
She left the district after last month's confrontation.
She just announced on LinkedIn one week ago that she is now a Teacher Support Specialist at International Alliance Group.
Governor Greg Abbott responded to my post about the last @AccuracyInMedia investigation with a call to "ban DEI in K-12 grades & cut funding."
He also called to ban DEI for K-12 during his official State of the State address this week.
Attorney General Ken Paxton just sent demand letters today to two other school districts in Texas that were similarly exposed for coaching parents on how to circumvent the law protecting girls' sports.
BREAKING: The school district (@HuttoISD) is now deleting posts and turning off replies after significant pushback.
This is a 1st Amendment violation by a government entity.
BREAKING: The school district that was exposed just deleted their account.
The school district that was exposed is still on Facebook, where they are receiving significant pushback. facebook.com/share/p/19r7eF…
"This account doesn't exist."
The school district that was exposed is going into hiding.
UPDATE: The district issued a statement:
".. the message conveyed in the video does not reflect the views or policies of Hutto ISD.
We want to reiterate that Hutto ISD respects, follows, and adheres to Texas laws as well as UIL guidelines and policies for our student athletes."
BREAKING: Attorney General Ken Paxton just sent a letter to Hutto ISD demanding documents after they were exposed for coaching parents on how to circumvent the law protecting girls' sports 🚨
Attorney General Ken Paxton: "The woke school officials endangering female athletes and trying to undermine girls’ athletics by letting boys compete should know that there will be consequences for all unlawful activity."

BREAKING: Arizona Supt Tom Horne ADMITTED that Primavera charter school should NOT have been classified as "Failing."
The school had their charter REVOKED based on incorrect data.
They serve over 8,000 kids.
This decision needs to be reversed.
I have the proof.
Buckle up 👇🧵
I have obtained the email from Tom Horne.
He ADMITTED:
• The school should have been classified as an "alternative" school
• "Their grade would be C"
• There was "no evidence of inaccuracy" of the data supplied by Primavera
This is a smoking gun.
The school's charter was revoked because it wrongly received a "failing" grade.
It was graded that way because it was wrongly classified as a regular school.
